Dear colleagues,
Christmas comes this year, with a few gifts, and several concerns.
The television market shrinks, broadcasters seem increasingly frightened by the future, but unable to decide, the producers are organized in a few groups that are focused on beauty and soprattutto il cattivo tempo. Agli scrittori, soprattutto quelli più giovani, sembra ormai destinato il ruolo di produttori di parole a cottimo, possibilmente sorridenti e sicuramente sempre meno pagati. Non parliamo di chi si avvicina per la prima volta al settore, costretto ad arrangiarsi tra stages e collaborazioni più o meno chiare, se non per il fatto che non prevedono alcun compenso.
Da qualche mese la Sact è impegnata a riaffermare ancora più fortemente un discorso sulla dignità e sul ruolo dello scrittore all’interno di un sistema televisivo che sta soffocando su se stesso e invece oggi più che mai, ha bisogno delle nostre idee e della nostra partecipazione.
Come potrete vedere sul our site, the association began a comparison of the contents and organization of work, calling to say their head the most important Italian writers, to hear their proposals and come up with a new television system, more modern and secular in which the writer recognize the role it occupies in any television system evolved and in which jurisdiction and rules, take the place of reports and systems to which they belong.
addition to the head writer, considered the decisive Sacto also involved in this debate who has just started or is starting to work as a writer of fiction , to offer him a place in which to exist and an opportunity to listen to what the problems, issues and perspectives that each of you would like to address within what we conceive as a major reform of the role of the writer in a television system that is changing very rapidly.
This is therefore a letter of congratulations, but above all an invitation. We look forward
Wednesday, January 21, the seat of the Sacto for the first of a series of meetings to discuss the role of the writer, but also to define a code of ethics governing relations between writers. not only talk about "niggers" of course, even if it is unfortunately inevitable talk about it, but also the mode of entry into the system, work organization, compensation, contracts, and any Another argument you want to report.
We wait so many and in the meantime, "Be careful out there." Greetings from the Steering
Sacto.
